Some one in this thread said: “our products aren’t competitive”
I said:
A real shame exports are growing at a rate of about 2.8% a year. It is a shame manufacturing is booming. It is a shame Germans are moving factories to America.
It is a shame the Iraqis are getting a handle on Iraq. It is a shame they are holding national elections in October. It is a shame their economy is growing 5% a year.
It is a shame oil prices are up giving a boost to the sale of hybrids and high mileage vehicles.
It is a shame unemployment in the “worst economy since the depression” is only around 5%. It is a shame it only grew .9%. It is a shame that higher growth is expected in the coming quarters. Did I mention that Germans are building factories in America?
Considering the doofus we have as President it is a shame things are going as well as they are.

Commenter DKK at Power and Control adds: It’s a shame we are exporting Buicks TO China and Toyota is going to start building cars here for export.

How ever did you read enough comments to find the one you quote. I couldn’t get there. My brain froze.
I’m a glutton for punishment.
Something to keep in mind when someone brings up the unmitigated horror of the “weak dollar.”
It’s a shame, too, that some would rather see the country go to hell than give President Bush any credit. Screw the press.
It’s also a shame we have vast resources of oil and we’re not allowed to tap into any of it, drill, explore…does that make any sense when we’re being held as energy hostages to a part of the world that is so unstable?
Oh, and it’s a shame that things are going so well in Iraq and the Iraqi troops and gov’t are pulling it together. Except that maybe they’ll thank us for our hard work and sacrifice by selling us oil at a bargain price.
Screw the Democrats, too.
